AFP: Volunteer hotline saves desperate migrants from the Med
Recent Posts Watch the Med – Reports🚨People at risk of being forced back to #Egypt. This group was over night rescued by Merchant Vessel Safi Lion. Even though #Crete is clearly the closed port, @HCoastGuard refuses to disembark the people in #Greece! This is outrageous!
The group reached out to us again & asked us for urgent help! There is water in the boat and the engine is not working anymore. They told us that still no help has arrived. We urge all authorities to send rescue NOW & to bring the group to a port of safety!!
Where is the person stranded on #Chafarinas Islands? 3 days ago #Spanish authorities claimed the person was transferred to the mainland, but since we did not get any confirmation. Relatives are extremely worried. We fear another #pushback.
